WELSH CLUBS IN EUROPE PART THIRTEEN - EBBW VALE FC

There was a rich history of football in the town with the club winning the Southern League in 1923 and the Welsh Cup in 1926. The club entered the League of Wales and had two third placed finishes in 96/97 and 97/98 qualified them for Europe and the Intertoto Cup. Ebbw Vale FC went out of business after their 1998 game with Norwegian side Kongsvinger. 

The club's Eugene Cross Park is still in use today with Ebbw Vale Rugby Union playing there and also RTB Ebbw Vale Football Club (formed 1951) using the ground - they played in the Welsh Football League Division Three between 2001 to 2003 but currently played in the Gwent County League Premier Division. 

A new club 'Ebbw Vale Town FC' were formed and played in the North Gwent Football League but sadly folded in 2018.
